In the kitchen with Emma - healthy afternoon snack.

My 8 year old daughter Emma loves to cook.   She has taken numerous culinary classes, has her own knife and a great recipe collection.   She told me she's the only girl at school who takes mozzarella and tomatoes in her lunch.   She reads labels and refuses to drink flavored milk at school because "it has too much sugar".   She wanted to share her favorite after school snack as it's easy, tasty and good for you.   If I'd let her, she would sell these instead of cupcakes at a bake sale!

Caprese Salad on a Stick

Ingredients:

• wooden skewers
• grape tomaotes
• small mozzarella balls
• baby spinach leaves
• olive oil
• salt and pepper

Directions:   Give birth to the funniest girl in the world... oh wait... haha... not those directions! 

Thread skewers with a grape tomato, spinach leaf, then mozzarella ball, filling it up.
 

Once you've done as many as you want, drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. 

Emma will lovingly serve you if you're at our house and will clean up as well.
